The timings and voltage are set to the XMP profile by default through the auto bios settings. I've tried with both XMP and manual looser timings both fail the OCCT Large Data Set. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes to fail and sometimes 2 hours. I've also tried 1T and 2T commant rates doesn't make...
I built a budget PC for a friend to use casually and play WoW and Diablo 3 and this is the first time I've encountered something like this with all stock settings. I've overclocked my own computers successfully many times but I can't get this one stable no matter what, and this is all stock...
You aren't even able to get into the bios anymore? Or you just can't boot into windows? The only problems I ever had with my old A7N8X-Deluxe was the cmos battery needed to be replaced once, and my bios actually got corrupted somehow when saving and exiting out of bios. I had to remove the...
I have the XPower and it's an amazing board. Haven't had a single problem with it and it surpassed my expectations for overclocking. The only downside is EIST (Speedstep) doesn't lower the voltage if you use anything other than auto for the vcore. Other than that I really like this board, the...
After several days of messing with my new system I finally found stable settings which I think are quiet good and among some of the lowest voltages atleast for vcore yet my temps are still reaching those that use 1.3vcore or more? My specs are in my sig and here's the voltages I'm using:
CPU...
You were spot on with the qpi voltage. If the system isn't stable with speedstep it's most likely the qpi voltage. I found it easiest to find my stable overclock with it dissabled and then enable it after and see where I'm at. When I had to up my qpi to 1.3 to get it 12 hours stable that also...
Interesting. I'll try messing with the qpi voltages once I get this stable. I was sad to wake up this morning to the windows screen. According to the event log I was stable 6 hours but blue screened at 6 and a half. Probably just need one more notch of vcore?
seems like it, or perhaps it's the bus speed that speedstep doesn't like. For whatever reason I couldn't seem to find any combination of voltages to make 20x200 stable with all the power saving features enabled. It looks like 1.248vcore is going to get me stable now without speedstep. Perhaps...
errr I got excited and typo'd. see it's 1.19v:

I think I'll shit my pants and then try for 4.2ghz if this is somehow stable o.O...
Sorry I would have fixed it faster but linpack slows down even an i7.
LOL! soooooooooooo.... Suddenly after a full night of prime95 stable I get a blue screen out of nowhere today and then windows won't even boot anymore. So I try to up the vcore to 1.3v and still can't boot into windows. So I thought of this post and dissabled speedstep... GUESS WHAT...
Nice results. I don't think you need to go any higher. I'm at 4ghz @ 1.256v(CPUz) right now and was able to pass 1 hour of occt and linx. I don't think I can push it any higher with my temps without dissabling hyperthreading. I don't think I should be hitting 81c with only 1.256vcore though...
